LAN Overview 2026
The last time that I blogged about my personal LAN setup was more than a decade ago. Meanwhile we moved into our own house and one of the major things we did, was adding Ethernet to every room.
So let's have a look at the current state:
This only shows the devices connected by Ethernet in detail. I added a few placeholders for the various devices connected by WiFi. Zigbee and Bluetooth devices are also omitted. I probably forgot something, too.
I am connected to the Internet via a 1GBit/s (TV) cable connection. It's great when it works, but unfortunately the service isn't the most reliable. To get Vodafone support help me faster, I opted to connect their shitty modem instead of my own Fritzbox to the line. This way they can run their access tests and don't have me unplug (and thus mutilate my network) everytime I have them on the phone. The modem runs as a simple forwarder.
I am still using a Fritzbox to run DNS and DHCP but often think about replacing it with a less consumery device where I have more control. But so far I have been too lazy. I also like their mesh network mechanism for the repeaters.
Everything else is pretty straight forward. I haven't dropped PowerLan completely - it's more reliable for extending the network out to the shed than WiFi.
The diagram was created using FossFLOW and I built a little tool to create the icons I was missing using gpt-image-1.
For my own reference in the future, here's the FossFLOW file: network.json

De combinatie vrouwen, seks en alcohol leidt tot meer narigheid dan de meeste mensen vermoeden. Dat blijkt uit data van Glow, een populaire app waar meer dan vier miljoen vrouwen advies zoeken over zwangerschap, anticonceptie en seksualiteit. De makers van de app beschikken daardoor over enorme hoeveelheden anonieme gegevens en besloten te onderzoeken hoe het zit tussen drank en seks.
De uitkomsten zijn verontrustend. Zodra vrouwen drie of meer glazen alcohol drinken, neemt de kans op riskant seksueel gedrag fors toe. Onveilige seks komt dan aanzienlijk vaker voor, en als anticonceptiemethode wordt opvallend vaak de morning-afterpil of coïtus interruptus genoemd. Vrouwen die minder dan drie glazen drinken, gebruiken veel vaker de pil of een condoom.
Misschien wel het meest confronterende cijfer: 55 procent van de vrouwen in het onderzoek zegt dat alcohol er ooit toe leidde dat ze een seksuele beslissing namen waar ze achteraf spijt van hadden. Dat cijfer staat niet op zichzelf. Ook Nederlands onderzoek van het Trimbos-instituut wijst in dezelfde richting: 31 procent van de jonge uitgaanders die seks hadden na alcoholgebruik, had daar achteraf spijt van.
Uit het Glow-rapport komen ook enkele opmerkelijke patronen naar voren. Zo drinken vrouwen gemiddeld het meest in juli en het minst in januari – het bekende 'Drynuary'-effect van goede voornemens na de feestdagen. Zaterdag is de populairste drinkdag, dinsdag de minst populaire.
Verder blijkt dat een meerderheid van de ondervraagde vrouwen vier tot zes drankjes nodig heeft om dronken te worden. Vijf procent heeft aan één glas genoeg, terwijl vijftien procent meer dan zeven glazen nodig zegt te hebben. Als ze drinken, geven vrouwen licht de voorkeur aan wijn (25 procent), gevolgd door sterke drank (23 procent) en cocktails (22 procent).
De risico's van alcohol in combinatie met seks gaan verder dan slechte keuzes in bed. Volgens het Trimbos-instituut is alcoholgebruik de op één na grootste risicofactor voor het meemaken van seksueel geweld. Bijna een derde van de volwassenen die seksueel geweld meemaakten, gaf aan dat alcohol of drugs daarbij een rol speelde. Alcohol onderdrukt remmende signalen in de hersenen, waardoor zowel het herkennen van gevaar als het aangeven van grenzen bemoeilijkt wordt.
De cijfers van Glow zijn afkomstig van een enquête onder circa 5.000 vrouwelijke gebruikers en zijn daarmee niet representatief voor alle vrouwen. Toch sluiten ze naadloos aan bij wetenschappelijk onderzoek dat keer op keer dezelfde boodschap herhaalt: na drie glazen verandert het risicogedrag merkbaar. Het is een ongemakkelijke waarheid die meer aandacht verdient – niet om vrouwen de les te lezen, maar om bewustzijn te creëren over een mechanisme dat velen onderschatten.
MILAAN (ANP/AFP) - Bij een protest in de Noord-Italiaanse stad Milaan tegen de Olympische Winterspelen zijn rellen uitgebroken. Een groep van enkele tientallen gemaskerde personen splitste zich af en zocht de confrontatie met de politie. Ze gooiden vuurwerk en stenen naar de politie, die hen met waterkanonnen en traangas uiteendreef.
Eerder waren ongeveer 5000 demonstranten vreedzaam langs het olympische dorp getrokken. Er waren 6000 politiemensen op de been gebracht.
Deelnemers waren onder meer pro-Palestijnse betogers, tegenstanders van het woningtekort, milieuactivisten en mensen die de spelen verkwisting vinden. Velen hadden een afbeelding van een boom als symbool meegenomen, uit protest tegen het kappen van bomen voor de aanleg van de bobsleebaan in Cortina.
The catch? The EV chargers are bi-directional, able "to both draw power from and return power to the grid..." The program hopes to "accelerate the adoption of V2X technologies, which, at scale, can lower energy bills by reducing energy demand during expensive peak periods and limiting the need for new grid infrastructure."
This functionality enables EVs, including electric buses and trucks, to provide backup power during outages and alleviate pressure on the grid during peak energy demand. These bi-directional chargers will enable EVs to act as mobile energy storage assets, with the program expected to deliver over one megawatt of power back to the grid during a demand response event — enough to offset the electricity use of 300 average American homes for an hour. "Virtual Power Plants are the future of our electrical grid, and I couldn't be more excited to see this program take off," said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper. "We're putting the power of innovation directly in the hands of Massachusetts residents. Bi-directional charging unlocks new ways to protect communities from outages and lower costs for families and public fleets...."
Additionally, the program will help participants enroll in existing utility programs that offer compensation to EV owners who supply power back to the grid during peak times, helping participants further lower their electricity costs. By leveraging distributed energy resources and reducing grid strain, this program positions Massachusetts as a national leader in clean energy innovation.

Clive Foster says action needed now to deliver justice to UK residents who had been wrongly classified as illegal immigrants
The Windrush commissioner has warned of a “hurry for justice” as more victims of the scandal die without redress, while stakeholders call for a public inquiry and legislative changes amid fears that a Reform government could stall progress toward justice.
Speaking on the sidelines of a people’s inquiry symposium for those affected by the Windrush scandal, Rev Clive Foster said action was needed “now” to deliver justice for those British residents whose lives were upended after being wrongly classified as illegal immigrants.

Guirassy’s late goal rescues Dortmund against Wolfsburg
Barcelona outclassed Mallorca 3-0 at home on Saturday to increase their lead at the top of the LaLiga standings.
Hansi Flick’s side controlled possession from the start and Marcus Rashford fired narrowly wide before playing a key role in the opener, as Dani Olmo headed his blocked effort into the path of Robert Lewandowski, who finished calmly in the 29th minute.
Continue reading...It would be easy to paint this as a Cole Palmer masterclass, the Chelsea midfielder completing his hat-trick inside the opening 38 minutes, but it is fair to say by the time he was substituted on the hour, his work was done. At that point it was 3-1 to the visitors, Wolves pulling a goal back early in the second half when Tolu Arokodare spun in the box to convert at a corner.
From there, if not earlier, it was hard not to feel as though Chelsea were going through the motions. Palmer’s trio of cool finishes, two from the penalty spot, earned victory and his third, capping a slick team move, was surely the most pleasing for Liam Rosenior. Rosenior’s record as Chelsea head coach now reads seven wins in nine matches and four successive victories in the Premier League.

Titles are won less in the big set-piece games than against mid-table teams in the easily forgotten circumstances of a Saturday afternoon. Arsenal weren’t brilliant against Sunderland, but they were good enough to win comfortably, and that increases their lead at the top of the table to nine points, adding a degree of extra pressure to Manchester City’s Sunday visit to Liverpool.
“They’re really tough opponents, really good at what they do,” said Mikel Arteta. “It’s very difficult to get sequences with threat and momentum, so I’m delighted with the performance.”

The results in the earlier games mean Brentford can still go level on points with sixth-placed Liverpool with a win on Tyneside. Newcastle will jump into the top half if they claim the three points. Fulham and Sunderland losing will give cheer to these two teams for a few reasons.
The middle of the Premier League table is a very fluid situation this season.
